SmartCare and ChildCare Manager

In 2016, SmartCare merged with Personalized Software, the maker of ChildCare Manager. ChildCare Manager has been a pioneering force in child care management and accounting software since 1985. With the history and experience from ChildCare Manager and the innovative technology from SmartCare, the two companies have come together to build two outstanding products leading the way for child care management software.

Today, SmartCare has all the features of child care management software, but with a modern twist. SmartCare is focused on mobile and web solutions that connect child care center owners, directors, teachers, and parents in real-time. We can provide a sign-in/sign-out kiosk, classroom tablets for teachers, and iPads for directors all at no cost to your center. We can also provide in-person on-boarding and support, parent/teacher communication and a billing solution allowing parents to pay online and from their phone.

If you’re looking for a more traditional software system for your child care center, ChildCare Manager offers a non-modular software solution that streamlines your center’s administration, management and record-keeping requirements. To learn more about ChildCare Manager, click here.
